Hi,

I can run a test scrip that connects to the and it CONNECTS
successfully whilst running from the my website on the server.

$sqlhost = 'localhost';
$sqluser = 'userid';
$sqlpass = 'password';
$sqldb = 'some_dbd';

<?php
$conn=@mysql_connect($sqlhost,$sqluser,$sqlpass) OR die("Could not
cONNECT : " . mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>");
$rs=@mysql_select_db($sqldb, $conn) or die("Could not select the
database");
?>

<<<PROBLEM>>>

I cant seem to get access to my SQL data (on the server) via running a
PHP script locally on my PC

But when I try and change the SQLHOST from "localhost" to a real URL
(ie something like www.website.com (etc)) its does nt like and gets

Could not CONNECT : 1045: Access denied for user
'userid'@'5ac4ba15.bb.sky.com' (using password: YES)
